The Markets is an exceptional project by Cox Architecture that will bring 315 dwellings to a key location in Belconnen Town Centre, opposite the Belconnen Markets redevelopment. It represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reside next door to an artisan food hub or invest in what is set to be a national food and entertainment attraction.
Designed to meet all lifestyle requirements, the dwellings vary from loft apartments, an abundance of 1, 2 & 3 bedroom apartments, and 3, 4 & 5 bedroom penthouses.
Inspired by the iconic Grounds of Alexandria, The Piazza will be an attraction in its own right. The magnificent pedestrian thoroughfare will flood greenery through the development, guiding residents through the space into an indoor-outdoor haven.
The Markets Residences is a project led by world-class amenity.
Design features include an impressive central atrium with open corridors to provide cross ventilation through the middle of the main tower; a calming waterfall and climbing greenery which meets your “backyard in the sky” with rooftop pool, and decked barbecue and picnic destination.
Bringing together the best local producers, farmers and providores, the new Belconnen Markets, renamed Capital Food Market, will offer a vibrant day to night venue. Inspired by Barcelona’s La Boqueria, London’s Borough Markets and Torvehallerne in Copenhagen, the creators have gone to an immense effort to find the right mix of producers and hospitality operators to create an artisan food hub and entertainment precinct in Canberra.
Around 50 vendors will reside with a large fresh food area on one side, complemented by food service on the other. Pop-ups and food islands will activate the space with plans for food demonstrations and a rotation of small seasonal traders. Larger restaurants will surround the area offering relaxed specialty dining.
National retailers including Chemist Warehouse, Petbarn, Toyworld and the Elements 4 Life gymnasium chain have already signed leases as well as existing market traders being relocated to the new building.

DESIGNED WITH SUSTAINABILITY IN FOCUS.
Inspired by traditional markets, which convey a fundamental connection to the land and an awareness of its finite resources, The Markets residences have been designed with sustainability in focus.
From foundational material choices to future-proofed technology, The Markets brings a fresh perspective to sustainable apartment living.
